South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services Preparing the Traditional (paper) Surveys Preparing the Traditional (paper) Surveys Print each survey (from a printer), rather than copying Ensure your printer is not on a light setting Verify that all the surveys you printed have a high print quality (check the first few and last few) Blank surveys can be found on the SC Documents website (http://ncweb.pire.org/scdocuments/) under the Prevention Evaluation category Do NOT print survey, front & back 4 9/30/2024

South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services DAODAS needs to receive NON-stapled surveys. We suggest choosing one of two options: Do not staple at all and simply hand out loose pages to respondents (but you must ensure DAODAS receives surveys back that have each student s pages in order). OR Staple the surveys before distribution, then pull the staples out after administration. Do NOT staple over the 4 black boxes or bar code Be very careful when you remove the staples to ensure the page is not damaged (will still run through the scanner correctly) 5 9/30/2024

South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services Proctoring the Surveys Proctoring the Surveys The student ID is the way we match pre- and post- tests. The code must be written (and bubbled) on the first page AND written at the top of each page. This allows us to bring together a student s survey pages if they ever get scattered. Note: The current survey is 3 pages long. 6 9/30/2024
